Abstract
Slot-machine for collection and distribution of digital data including at least a local mass memory 6 and a local means of hiring of a memory capacity 13 of this mass memory 6. This means of hiring consists of a data reader 11, accessible on an outer side and reading the data of a data support 10, of an intermediate memory 11 a, of a means 12 of analysis, comparison, refusal or acceptance of data 10, and of setting of the price of the hiring of memory capacity 13, and a means of payment authorizing the loading in mass memory of the data pending in the intermediate memory 11 a.
Description
- The field of the invention is that of the collection and the distribution of the digital data, more particularly of the audio-visual digital data.
- The digital audio-visual data are diffused in the form of material supports legible in adapted readers, and in the form of files transmitted by the network internet.

Nos. 5,633,839 A (ALEXANDER GREGORY et al.) of 27 May 1997, U.S. 5,949,688 A (FORKUM ALLAN et al.) of 07 Sep. 1999, U.S. 6,330,490 B1 (YANG JUN MO et al.) of Dec. 11 2001, CA 2 225 190 (R2M DISTRIB Inc) of Jun. 18, 1999, WO 01 52125 A (MARCONI TRADES SYSTEMS LTD) of 19 Jul. 2001, and OBVIOUS ABSTRACTS OF JAPAN of Oct. 31, 1998, describe means of distributing commercially data loaded to the request in a memory of disc type or electronics.
- The means used are schematically represented by the single figure.
- A material unit 1, having the characteristics of a slot-machine of the former art, contains a stock of virgin
independant supports 2, for example optical discs CD/DVD with or without protective cartridgge, protected or not byelectronic modules 3, a means ofdistribution 4 of theseindependent supports 2, and a means ofpayment 5 allowing it possible to obtain these independent loaded supports. - This material unit 1 also contains a
means 6 of mass memory, for example hard disks, or optical discs. - The data stored on the
mass memory 6 are loaded at the request of a means ofchoice 7 on theindependent supports 2 by one ormore means 8 of writing of these data, and a data processing means 9 determines the sum which must be provided by means ofpayment 5 to enter in possession of theindependent support 2 loaded with the selected data. - The individual hacking being a cultural phenomenon as much as financial, refusal of a system of distribution seen at the internet age as obsolete, totalitarian and too expensive, it is not very probable that it can be fought successfully by technical means always got round, or by a repressive legislation, freedomkiller and probably unworkable.
- The invention introduces a new fundamental aspect into the distributions of the data: the possibility for the producers of these data, or for the labels representing them, quasi automatically to charge these data on the mass memory of a slot-machine, at the price of the hiring of the
memory capacity 13 of this mass memory occupied by these data loaded. - To allow this easy access of the producers to this means of diffusion, the means of mass storage of the slot-machine is fed partly or entirely from independent supports of data read by a suitable reading device.
- This reading device makes an analysis of these data, accepts them or not, and determines the price of hiring of the memory capacity used in the said mass memory.
- The invention cannot be opposed to the industrial piracy of data, but by improving considerably the relationship between supply and demand, it can satisfy legitimate waiting, as well of creators as of users, and put an end to a great part of this piracy.
- According to the invention, the
mass memory 6 of the former art is fed by data contained ontoindependent supports 10, for example optical disks or floppy disks, introduced into areader 11 in connection with saidmass memory 6<<, or by data located on a distant data storage 6 a connected by asuitable connection 18>>. -
Reader 11 of these independent supports containing the data to be loaded on themass memory 6 transmits these data to a local 12 or distant 12 a, automatic or human, means of analysis, which decides acceptance or refusal of the data, and determines the amount of the hiring ofmemory capacity 13 used in themass memory 6. - Single FIGURE: diagrammatic material overall picture of an autonomous slot-machine 1 of the former art, with the additions of the invention. The various connections between the elements are not represented. They are the connections of the former art of the electronic complex devices, for example of a computer which in general includes some of the elements of the autonomous slot-machine. In the same way, former art describes a very great number of devices of displacement and availability of objects by slot-machines, as well as means of payment accepting coins and bank cards with code.
